i bring up energy because, in the city, all of the energy we use in san francisco, including our energy to heat our houses and cut our food and drive our cars is vastly more than what we used to run our municipal transportation system. we only use 2% of the energy we use on muni. so you know we are not efficient. we can improve that. and we need to because the cost of energy is only going to go up. we need to figure out how we are going to do this. the best way is to make muni efficient, make it appealing, affordable, and help everybody get onto our municipal transportation system. we need to improve pedestrian safety, bicycle safety, we need to improve bicycle parking and implement bike sharing. and in the richmond district -- and i think this could also be for district 5 -- we need to make it easier to do city car share, and even to rent cars. more specifically, about two years ago, we did begin to cut service, muni service, because of a budget shortfall. at this point it is time to assess those cuts to service in the richmond district. we eliminated the ocean beach and we rerouted th

- kinetic energy. - kinetic energy. there's more kinetic energy in the molecules in a hot cup of coffee than a-- you know that. that's what it means to say that something's hot, that it has more energy. we might say more thermal energy. more strictly speaking, we'll say more internal energy, more energy internal to the system. so there's much more internal energy in a hot cup of coffee than a cold cup of coffee. what's got more internal energy, a hot cup of coffee or an iceberg floating down at the antarctica? check your neighbor for an estimate. a humongous iceberg or a small hot cup of coffee: which has the more internal energy? all the energy combined-- what would it be, gang? yeah, the iceberg is frozen. how many say the hot cup of coffee still has more kinetic energy of all those molecules and those zillions and zillions-- come on, no, it's the other way around, gang. [laughter] it turns out there's more internal energy in the humongous icebergs simply because there are more molecules jiggling, you know? add up all
